Extension new tasks - but roles remain
EASA tasks for AerodromesEASA tasks for Aerodromes
RULEMAKING:- IRs & AMC/ CS/ GM for aerodrome operators & equipment
- CS for aerodrome design (CS-ADR)- safety oversight (competent authorities) - Future development and adaptation of rules
CERTIFICATION: no role is foreseen.
SAFETY ANALYSIS:covering Aerodromes
STANDARDISATION:inspections of national
competent authorities for aerodromes
International relations:-ICAO- Europe’s role in technicalassistance to 3rd countries
Aerodromes –legal framework today
No common safety rules on European level, no Community competence
ICAO Contracting States committed to provide aerodromes in accordance with SARP’s of Annex 14 (+ Certification Manual);
But, different legal transpositions and implementation in Member States;No common transposition dates;Insufficient details on regulation of safety oversight;No uniform safety levels across EU Member States

ATM IR’s - planningPrioritisation of 1st set of measures (by 2012): • ATM.001 – ANS service provision (OR + services)• ATM.003 – ATCO licensing• ATM.004 – authority requirements• other tasks if clear safety need ATM.002 TCAS v7.1• drafting group / task, NPA’s in 2010, phased publication
HLG, workshops, etc.
RM programme (after 2012):• systems - separate approval schemes• prioritisation within tasks (specific ToR considerations)• rules on airspace users (link/SES, OPS rule structure)

Draft ToR’sToR consultation (July 09), according to RM procedure:• Draft ToR’s ATM.001, ATM.003 & ATM.004
AGNA, “revised” SSCC & EUROCONTROL consulted

High Level Groups
The EASA Management Board asked EASA to perform its rulemaking activities for the 1st and 2nd extension of remits under consideration of the following principles:
• prioritisation and phased approach • alignment with existing rules • simplicity of rules and • balance between “hard” and “soft”
43
High Level GroupsEASA created 3 High level Groups with representatives from:• ATM/ANS• Airports• Airlines
The High Level Groups shall provide their input and closely follow all developments in the rulemaking process.
Kick-off meetings were held in September/October 2009.
The groups will meet on a regular basis
